So, has the NSW State Government makes it official regarding the State Migration Plan for 2013?
I have just received this email from a Member of Migration Alliance and I think it is newsworthy.
It would appear based on the occupational ceiling report for these occupations....

If you haven't had a chance to take a look at the toolbar yet, you will not be disappointed. I have created a one-of-a-kind Australian immigration toolbar which allows RMAs to access everything they need from one spot at the top of their screen. Links to all the major government websites including state and territory government websites are included on the toolbar drop-down menu, plus links to other locations such as AustLii and ComLaw, the Office of the MARA, The Agents Gateway on DIAC's website, News and even this blog as a RSS feed option. If there is something you think needs to be added to the FREE Australian immigration toolbar then please write to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and I will see if it can be included.
To download the toolbar just scroll about half way down the Migration Alliance homepage and it is on the right hand side. I hope this makes your lives easier. The RMAs in my office love it.
Dear MA Members

The following information has been received by me from DIAC this morning:
Hi Liana,
...
Migration agents are encouraged to take two surveys which we believe will assist us in our efforts to represent you at our DIAC and Office of the MARA meetings:
1. Survey on the Migration Agents Gateway:
The migration agents gateway is supposed to be a gateway just for migration agents. The issue agents have is that it is not private or locked, but open to the public. This means it is actually a public gateway. Agents have been complaining about the length of time it takes to get a response from the gateway, the message that shows on the gateway before agents post a query (opressive and insulting) which asks RMAs to agree to a host of things before asking a question, and the answers from DIAC being incomplete or not answering the question. In my next quarterly meeting with DIAC I am going to take the results of the survey below and sit down with DIAC and try to create a better solution.
